From: Zhu Yanjun <yanjun.zhu@linux.dev>

When run "ip link add" command to add a rxe rdma link in a net
namespace, normally this rxe rdma link can not work in a net
name space.

The root cause is that a sock listening on udp port 4791 is created
in init_net when the rdma_rxe module is loaded into kernel. That is,
the sock listening on udp port 4791 is created in init_net. Other net
namespace is difficult to use this sock.

The following commits will solve this problem.

In the first commit, move the creating sock listening on udp port 4791
from module_init function to rdma link creating functions. That is,
after the module rdma_rxe is loaded, the sock will not be created.
When run "rdma link add ..." command, the sock will be created. So
when creating a rdma link in the net namespace, the sock will be
created in this net namespace.

In the second commit, the functions udp4_lib_lookup and udp6_lib_lookup
will check the sock exists in the net namespace or not. If yes, rdma
link will increase the reference count of this sock, then continue other
jobs instead of creating a new sock to listen on udp port 4791. Since the
network notifier is global, when the module rdma_rxe is loaded, this
notifier will be registered.

After the rdma link is created, the command "rdma link del" is to
delete rdma link at the same time the sock is checked. If the reference
count of this sock is greater than the sock reference count needed by
udp tunnel, the sock reference count is decreased by one. If equal, it
indicates that this rdma link is the last one. As such, the udp tunnel
is shut down and the sock is closed. The above work should be
implemented in linkdel function. But currently no dellink function in
rxe. So the 3rd commit addes dellink function pointer. And the 4th
commit implements the dellink function in rxe.

To now, it is not necessary to keep a global variable to store the sock
listening udp port 4791. This global variable can be replaced by the
functions udp4_lib_lookup and udp6_lib_lookup totally. Because the
function udp6_lib_lookup is in the fast path, a member variable l_sk6
is added to store the sock. If l_sk6 is NULL, udp6_lib_lookup is called
to lookup the sock, then the sock is stored in l_sk6, in the future,it
can be used directly.

All the above work has been done in init_net. And it can also work in
the net namespace. So the init_net is replaced by the individual net
namespace. This is what the 6th commit does. Because rxe device is
dependent on the net device and the sock listening on udp port 4791,
every rxe device is in exclusive mode in the individual net namespace.
Other rdma netns operations will be considerred in the future.

In the 7th commit, the register_pernet_subsys/unregister_pernet_subsys
functions are added. When a new net namespace is created, the init
function will initialize the sk4 and sk6 socks. Then the 2 socks will
be released when the net namespace is destroyed. The functions
rxe_ns_pernet_sk4/rxe_ns_pernet_set_sk4 will get and set sk4 in the net
namespace. The functions rxe_ns_pernet_sk6/rxe_ns_pernet_set_sk6 will
handle sk6. Then sk4 and sk6 are used in the previous commits.

As the sk4 and sk6 in pernet namespace can be accessed, it is not
necessary to add a new l_sk6. As such, in the 8th commit, the l_sk6 is
replaced with the sk6 in pernet namespace.

Test steps:
1) Suppose that 2 NICs are in 2 different net namespaces.

  # ip netns exec net0 ip link
  3: eno2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP
     link/ether 00:1e:67:a0:22:3f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     altname enp5s0

  # ip netns exec net1 ip link
  4: eno3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel
     link/ether f8:e4:3b:3b:e4:10 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

2) Add rdma link in the different net namespace
    net0:
    # ip netns exec net0 rdma link add rxe0 type rxe netdev eno2

    net1:
    # ip netns exec net1 rdma link add rxe1 type rxe netdev eno3

3) Run rping test.
    net0
    # ip netns exec net0 rping -s -a 192.168.2.1 -C 1&
    [1] 1737
    # ip netns exec net1 rping -c -a 192.168.2.1 -d -v -C 1
    verbose
    count 1
    ...
    ping data: rdma-ping-0: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqr
    ...

4) Remove the rdma links from the net namespaces.
    net0:
    # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
    State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer Address:Port    Process
    UNCONN    0         0         0.0.0.0:4791          0.0.0.0:*
    UNCONN    0         0         [::]:4791             [::]:*

    # ip netns exec net0 rdma link del rxe0

    # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
    State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer Address:Port    Process

    net1:
    # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
    State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer Address:Port    Process
    UNCONN    0         0         0.0.0.0:4791          0.0.0.0:*
    UNCONN    0         0         [::]:4791             [::]:*

    # ip netns exec net1 rdma link del rxe1

    # ip netns exec net0 ss -lu
    State     Recv-Q    Send-Q    Local Address:Port    Peer Address:Port    Process

V4->V5: Rebase the commits to V6.4-rc1

V3->V4: Rebase the commits to rdma-next;

V2->V3: 1) Add "rdma link del" example in the cover letter, and use "ss -lu" to
           verify rdma link is removed.
        2) Add register_pernet_subsys/unregister_pernet_subsys net namespace
        3) Replace l_sk6 with sk6 of pernet_name_space

V1->V2: Add the explicit initialization of sk6.

Zhu,

I did some simple experiments on netns functionality.

With your patch set applied and rxe0 created on enp6s0 and rxe1 created on lo in the default namespace

	# sudo ip netns add test
	# ip netns
	test
	# sudo ip netns exec test ip link
	1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
	    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
	# sudo ip netns exec test ip link set dev lo up
	# sudo ip netns exec test ip link
	1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
	    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
	# sudo ip netns exec test ip addr add dev lo fe80::0200:00ff:fe00:0000/64
		[rxe doesn't work unless this IPV6 address is set]
	# sudo ip netns exec test ip addr
	1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
	    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
	    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
	       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
	    inet6 fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 scope link 
	       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
	    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
	       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
	# sudo ip netns exec test ls /sys/class/infiniband
	rxe0  rxe1
		[These show up even though the ndevs do *not* belong to the test namespace! Probably OK.]
	# sudo ip netns exec test rdma link add rxe2 type rxe netdev lo
	# ls /sys/class/infiniband
	rxe0  rxe1  rxe2
		[The new rxe device shows up in the default namespace. At least we're consistent.]
	# ib_send_bw -d rxe0 ... 192.168.0.27
		[Works. Didn't break the existing rxe devices. Expected]
	# ib_send_bw -d rxe1 ... 127.0.0.1
		[Works. Expected]
	# ib_send_bw -d rxe2 ... 127.0.0.1
	IB device rxe2 not found
 	 Unable to find the Infiniband/RoCE device
		[Not work. Expected.]
	# sudo ip netns exec test ib_send_bw -d rxe2 ... 127.0.0.1
	IB device rxe2 not found
	 Unable to find the Infiniband/RoCE device
		[Also not work. Turns out rxe2 device is gone after failure. Not expected.]
	# sudo ip netns exec test rdma link add rxe2 type rxe netdev lo
	# ls /sys/class/infiniband
	rxe0  rxe1  rxe2
		[Good. It's back]
	# sudo ip netns exec test ib_send_bw -d rxe2 ... 127.0.0.1
		[Works in test namespace! Expected.]
	# sudo ip netns exec test ib_send_bw -d rxe1 ... 127.0.0.1
		[Also works. Definitely not expected.]

My take, it sort of works. But there are some serious issues. You shouldn't be able to use the
rxe2 device in the default namespace. It would be nice if you couldn't see the rxe devices in each
other's namespaces (Like ip link or ip addr hide other namespace's devices.)

Thanks a lot for your testing. Bob.

There are 2 modes in rdma net namespace. One is shared mode, the other 
is exclusive mode.

Share mode is the defaut mode. So what you have found is normal.

The followings are the explanations of both shared and exclusive modes.

     rdma system set netns shared|exclusive, specifies the RDMA 
subsystem mode. Either exclusive or shared.  When user wants

        to assign dedicated RDMA device to a particular network 
namespace, exclusive mode should
        be set before creating any network namespace. If there are 
active network namespaces and
        if one or more RDMA devices exist, changing mode from shared to 
exclusive returns error
        code EBUSY.

        When RDMA subsystem is in shared mode, RDMA device is accessible 
in all network namespace.
        When RDMA device isolation among multiple network namespaces is 
not needed, shared mode
        can be used.

        It is preferred to not change the subsystem mode when there is 
active RDMA traffic

        running, even though it is supported.

Thanks a lot.

I am not sure if it is correct or not to destroy a rxe device outside 
this this net namespace.

Because to irdma/mlx5 rdma devices, we can also destroy them with the 
command "modprobe -v irdma/mlx5..." outside of the net namespace.

I am not sure if this is correct or not.

The GID of rxe can not be generated with lo. This is a problem. Now 
Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org> will fix it.

Not sure if the problem that you confronted is related with this. Please 
use physical NIC to make tests again.

Thanks a lot.

The GID of rxe can not be generated with lo. This is a problem. Now Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org> will fix it.

Not sure if the problem that you confronted is related with this. Please use physical NIC to make tests again.

Thanks a lot.

That was why I added the IPV6 address by hand. That created the gid table entry. This is
also a problem for all ethernet devices for distros that mangle the MAC address when creating the
IPV6 address as a security measure. These include Ubuntu which I use. So I have to always add
an IPV6 address based on the MAC address for any ethernet device.

I agree, and would like to see a fix. It's obviously going to be a very
useful use case for CI environments for upper layer storage protocols
such as NFS and SMB, for instance.


> Now Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org> will fix it.

My understanding is that, because RoCE allows more than one port per egress
device, the mechanism for enabling rxe-on-lo is going to be different than
it is for iWARP -- or it might not be possible at all. That's why my siw
patches do not implement a fix for rxe.

Jason needs to outline a mechanism for it so we can see what needs to be
done. At which point, any interested party should be able to fix it.

Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org> will fix this problem. Before the fix for 
this problem is merged, it is not good to make tests with rxe-on-lo.

It is difficult for us to tell the failure from lo or net name space.

So please use physical NIC instead of lo now.

Look forward to the fix.
